TALKING JOBS has been designed to help widen young people’s thinking about the world of work. Aligned to the Jan 09 white paper on aspirations and attainment, the key driver is in understanding that many young people lack diverse connections beyond their immediate community.

TALKING JOBS is supported by The East Sussex Enterprise Hub a SEEDA funded initiative.
